BIDDER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These terms and conditions shall govern all online auctions provided by 422 Sales (“Online Auctions”).

REGISTRATION:

A one-time $20.00 registration fee is due when a Bidder registers for a bidder number. This fee will be charged to Bidder’s credit card at the time of registration and before Bidder’s bidder number is activated. Once activated, the bidder number will be emailed to Bidder. This will be Bidder’s permanent online bidder number. 422 Sales reserves the right to waive or change this fee at any time.

BIDDER OBLIGATIONS:

Bidder hereby acknowledges that when a bid is placed for an item(s) in any Online Auction conducted by 422 Sales that Bidder is entering into a Contractual Agreement with the owner/seller of said item(s) (“Owner/Seller”). Bidder agrees that he/she will be Legally Obligated to purchase the item(s) bid on. Bidder agrees that Bidder will not bid if not fully prepared to fulfill the purchase obligation with no exceptions. Bidder agrees that any bid constitutes an offer to purchase the item(s) bid upon.

However, 422 Sales is in no way responsible for the information provided in its correctness, authenticity, or defects. ALL SALES ARE "AS IS" "WHERE IS" AND FINAL. NO WARRANTY IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED IN ANY MANNER. Bidder hereby acknowledges that item(s) were made available prior to and/or during said auction for inspection. BIDDER IS STRONGLY ADVISED TO INSPECT ALL ITEM(S) PRIOR TO BIDDING. Bidder relies solely on personal inspection and not on information provided on the site by 422 Sales online or by Owner/Seller. It is Bidder's responsibility to be fully informed.
